Animal Kingdom, Gill's Birthday


We went to Animal Kingdom for Gill's 51st birthday. He loves it there. He got in free since is was his birthday and we had an unused ticket from who knows when that got me in. We had $30 in Disney gift cards that paid for parking and lunch, actually our nice day cost us $1.19, how is that for a bargin??? We got there at just after 8 AM, got Gill's birthday button and special birthday ticket, then the park opened at 9 AM. We really were not planning to stay long - so HOT however we were having a good time so left at 7 PM!!! AND NO RAIN!!!


A waterfall in the Oasis, Gill's favortie place, lots of birds, ducks, small animals, nice and relaxing.
